The members of the various posts,
G. A. r., assembled at their headquar.
tiers yesterday morning at 10 o'clock and
from there they marched to Motifs Hail.
on Main street, where they were invited
by Rev. r. S. Santine, who, after read
ing the 9th Psalm, chose for the text a
portion of the Sth verse of the third
chapter of Esther and a portion of the
l4th verse of the 4th chapter, Neither
keep they the Kings laws" and who

kingdom for such time as this" DIR.
Cantine said that he took it for gran ted
that those who took the part of the
government in its dark days were will
ing to take its part and live for it'in its
prosperity. To them he would leave
the sad pleasure OF strewing the graves
of those who died for their country with
flowers. AS well might he attempt to
add color or beauty to the rose, or puri.

into other paths, which he hoped
would be judged correctly. There
has never been time in the
history of the world when 20 much
work has been done; when there has
been so much regard for the law, and
SO much disregard for the law as during
the last two decades. A traveller was
once asked which was the worst city in
the United States, and he replied,
"Chicago." He was then asked which
was the best city, and he again replied,
"Chicago." And this was possible, for
it is but step from the sublime to the
ridiculous, and from the right path tc
the wrong. Human nature is such that
under certain conditions, that it expousas
extremes, and to-day the lives between
the extremes are closely drawn. AT the
present time, the enemies of all that !,
dear to us, liberty and home and gov
ernment, are focking to our shores
Dark and omnibus clouds obscure oul
horizon, and war is at hand, in which
the United States will be the battle
ground, where all nations will take par
in the fray; God grant that the righ
may triumph over wrong. Our country
and our homes, and our religion are in
peril because of an alien population thai
is coming to our shores from the sllm

from other lands, and a larg
majority of these do not keep the King
laws. They change his laws into law
lessness. Among them are found out
lows from society, from the State an
from the Church, and they have file,
from torture and perhaps death. The,

casts of society. They have violate
every law, and have escaped froi
prison, and have come to us. We hav
received them with open arms. an
have made them citizens. They come
us not to make useful citizens, but
prey on society. The prisons of Euror
have emptied themselves into OIL
bosoms, and we also get the pauper

social and political life, and have be,
